Fruit And Nut Easter Eggs Recipe

this is almost like an Easter Egg my mother would get me every year... but it had the addition of coconut in them.. i will have to make these and see how close they are to what I remember... the recipe and photo are coutesy of Holiday Eats

Very good. The mixture wouldn't hold the egg shape right away - it would flatten out. I put it into silicone muffin pans and set in the 'fridge for about 15 minutes to cool. Then I popped them out, shaped them and returned them to the 'fridge on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. When fully cooled, I coated with tempered chocolate. I found it easiest to use a silicone spatula to spread chocolate on the bottoms first, then turn the eggs over on the parchment to cover the rest of the egg. Once the chocolate set up, they remained fine at room temperature. It took a full bag of chocolate morsels to cover all eight eggs. I even added Iittle candy carrots and leaves that I bought in the cake decorating section before the chocolate set. They look pretty and nearly store bought! Thanks for the recipe!
